Sección Femenina

Sección Femenina was the women's branch of Spain's Falange, a fascist political organization active from the 1930s to the 1970s. It aimed to promote traditional gender roles, nationalism, and social discipline among women, emphasizing their roles as mothers and homemakers. The organization provided education, social services, and ideological training to reinforce conservative values aligned with the regime's goals. While it sought to empower women within its ideological framework, its activities were geared toward supporting the authoritarian government and maintaining traditional social hierarchies.
